The sherman silver purchase act of 1890?

Sherman Silver Purchase Act, 1890, passed by the U.S. Congress to supplant the Bland-Allison Act of 1878. It not only required the U.S. government to purchase nearly twice as much silver as before, but also added substantially to the amount of money already in circulation. The Sherman Silver Purchase Act (supported by John Sherman only as a compromise with the advocates of free silver) threatened, when put into operation, to undermine the U.S. Treasury's gold reserves. After the panic of 1893 broke, President Cleveland called a special session of Congress and secured (1893) the repeal of the act.

What did the sherman silver purchase act do?

The Sherman Silver Purchase Act nearly caused the US to go bankrupt. Farmers demanded relief from the low prices of crops, high interest rates, and the high cost of buying new expensive equipment. They wanted free silver to bring relief to their farms. The US Treasury created a note that would be able to be redeemed for gold. J.P. Morgan loaned the US gold that allowed it to stay afloat. The currency back in the day was backed by gold. With little gold left in the treasury, it would have made the US Dollar worthless.
